Function details:

Bots logic is like this:

  • check if the result table was updated on the official league web-site
  • check if on the wiki-page last edit was made by me (by this bot)
    • if so: get the wiki-page data => generate new table with up-to-date scores => replace old table with the new one => commit to the server
    • if no, set the update status to Manual, which needs my intervention to see what's changed, to not harm

Discussion

I don't have a separate account, because i'm making changes as an IP-user. But making changes in tables was a time-consuming job, so I coded this bot (and created this account for him), to make the changes semi-automatically. There is my contact information in the bots User-Agent header, if any.
